WordPress powers 26% of the web, and chances are that your website is on WordPress too. All those statistics are of no use to you if you don’t tap into the power of Lead generation WordPress Plugins.
I am happy from a marketing standpoint that the CMS of choice happens to be WordPress for most small businesses simply because the WordPress ecosystem has so many plugins, tools, and even SaaS products that are “built” for WordPress or at least there’s a plugin for it.
You don’t get anything just because you have a website up and running (WordPress or not).
Also, you won’t get real results Just because you invest in WordPress specialist hosting. However, that’s a sensible and smart starting point.
You only get results when you deploy the power of WordPress, a few requisite plugins, and real hustle — altogether. Lead generation WordPress plugins will make all the difference for your business.
Your digital marketing efforts cannot go in vain, so look out for how you execute digital marketing.
Plus, you need sales funnels to work for you.
Here are some fantastic Lead Generation WordPress Plugins that help you generate leads (some new and some old).
Let’s dig in:
Qards
What happens if you bring in Unbounce like functionality into a WordPress Plugin? What if you could just use a single plugin to create as many landing pages as you might need with just a drag-and-drop editor, and a stack of panels that you could edit completely, the way you wanted to?
Qards from Designmodo is a fantastic WordPress plugin that can help you create landing pages for lead generation from inside your familiar WordPress dashboard.
It works with “cards” or panels that are pre-built. You can mix, match, play, and edit these cards or panels as you’d like to create effective landing pages.
Setka Editor
Effective and high-impact content marketing is a sureshot way to ramp up your leads and get sales. But what if you could also add “beautiful, well-formatted, and smashing looking content” to the mix?
You can create beautiful content on your WordPress sites or blogs with The Setka Editor. Setka Editor comes with Animations, Icon libraries, micro-templates, and other features such as smart layouts and smart quotes.
You can use grids, add lead generation elements where needed, add/scale images, display video content in any size, and everything you build with Setka comes with CDN delivery and compression
Your blog posts and pages will never be the same again. It’s time to go kick some ass with content.
Capture & Convert
Capture & Convert provides you with a swiss army knife of forms to complete a range of marketing goals.
Capture & Convert isn’t your traditional email form builder as it comes with 5 “widgets” for marketers to add to their toolkit:
Email to Unlock widget: Use their email widget for your standard email capture (newsletter, etc) or as a means to gate a content upgrade (ebook, checklist, etc). Follow to Unlock widget – entice visitors to follow you on social media. This is one of the few WP plugins that support YouTube and Instagram.
Share to Unlock widget: “lock” a content upgrade behind a widget in exchange for a share on social media. Call to Action widget – if you’re looking to promote a new case study, product or blog post, use this widget to insert a banner into your blog posts to drive traffic to your desired location.
Floating widget: The team at Capture & Convert is adamant about removing popups from the web. This widget sits unobtrusively in the bottom corner of a visitor’s screen. Always in sight, never annoying.
I was really impressed with how easy it is to use Capture & Convert.
You can go from download to live forms in a matter of minutes and there’s no little to no learning curve to pick it up. If you’re looking for something smaller, simpler and cost-effective (can’t beat free), this is the route to go.
I can see this being an incredibly effective alternative to some of the larger players, for solopreneurs or bloggers who need marketing forms without the cost or learning curve to use. The form template library is impressive. There are dozens of clean, sleek and on-trend design templates that are ready to go out of the box. They also built in the ability to customize forms as well. It’s incredibly easy to match your fonts, colors, add in logos and custom images to your widget’s design.
They provide a number of design tutorials and use cases on their blog and YouTube Channel, be sure to check those out.
There are premium versions of the plugin as well. The free version lets you use it on 1 site only, has limited form templates and only includes access to 3 of 5 widgets. The 2 premium versions $19/month and $49/month) give you access to dozens of form templates, all widgets and use on more sites (up to 5, unlimited).
If you’re a marketing agency who works a lot in WordPress creating content and landing pages, the enterprise option is incredibly cost-effective for the scale of what you can go with the plugin.
In a nutshell, here are the best Features from this WordPress Lead Generation Plugin – There’s a free version of Capture & Convert which has more than you need for everyday WordPress users. The plugin runs on shortcodes, meaning you can easily customize offers to offer personalized opt-ins on. Among many plugins I’ve used so far, Capture and convert is the easiest to use interface of any form I’ve tried.
Benefit from the endless options to customize the forms and make them match your branding. – no developers needed, ever (say hello to #nocode). The plugin is light and agile, any basic WP user can handle install and management. I already know that there’s also helpful support staff, even for the free version (now, that’s something).
Intercomm
Intercomm was built for you to capture your site visitors and convert each conversion into a sale (or possibly more sales from the same customer) — all without coming across as pushy or salesy.
With Intercomm, you can:
- Capture and convert leads
- Onboard and engage customers

Intercomm lets you proactively engage your visitors based on automation rules (if this, then that). Based on what they are doing on your site, you could start actual conversations with them.
Of course, you can also qualify and route leads automatically (using a bot), send personalized messages, measure conversions, do A/B testing, and also integrate with Slack, SalesForce, Clearbit, or others.
OptinMonster
OptinMonster is built for leader generation. Although I mention the WordPress plugin here, please do note that OptinMonster works with any website (Including Simvoly, Wix, Mozello, and others).
OptinMonster comes with various forms of lead generation tools to help generate leads from your website. Lead generation elements like MonsterLinks™, click-to-trigger pop-ups, geographically-triggered pop-ups, exit-intent pop-ups, gamification wheels for lead generation, and more.
There are also several smart targeting features, eCommerce sales enablement features, reduced shopping cart abandonment features, and more.
Bloom for WordPress
Designed by the folks from Elegant Themes — popular for the Divi Builder and the Divi Theme — Bloom is an incredible plugin for WordPress that lets you create signup forms, slide-in forms, opt-in forms, content unlock widgets, and forms to go under each of your blog posts.
Bloom also integrates with many email service providers such as Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, and others.
Apart from the ability to create forms, Bloom also provides you with an ability to split-test your forms and lead generation elements while giving you with focused analytics that you’d need to make better decisions.
GrowthFunnel
Pop-ups and landing page are fine, but what about all the other ways you work so hard to bring in traffic to your WordPress website? How do you capture visitors (and hence leads and sales) coming in from, say, social media?
Growthfunnel helps you create funnels of all kinds (including the ones you’d not think of) and provide you with various ways to engage and grow your business.
Growthfunnel allows you unlimited traffic, you can build a “social share funnel”, “social follow funnel”, etc. You also get access to funnel/form sync, push notifications, social data autofill, RSS-to-push, and advanced segmentation features.
Drip
Any talk about lead generation is redundant without a smart email marketing automation platform to back you up. You could, of course, Mailchimp (and it’s awesome for many small businesses).
However, if you have many offers to make and if you need some real smart automation, you’ll need Drip.
Drip, when integrated with WordPress (especially WordPress eCommerce), starts tracking all the traffic that your website gets. When your subscribers sign up, you’ll then get a complete history of your new subscriber — when did they first visit the site? What made them sign up, and they signed up for what offer exactly? How many times did they open your emails? How many times did they visit your site? What pages did they visit?
Drip is the only automation platform that also provides you with “Lead Scoring” so that you can use some sort of gamification to assign points (and hence a final score) to each of your subscribers.
The more the lead score is (and you’ll have to determine how this is calculated), the higher the chances of that subscriber buying from you or turning into a customer for life.
MailOptin
Ever wanted to do what Amazon does with its smart personalization, event-triggered emails, and what not?
MailOptin is a WordPress plugin that can help you engage and nurture your WordPress website visitors. It then gives you what you need to send out event-triggered emails.
On the front end, you have slide-in pop-ups, site-wide pop-ups, calls to action, and more.
After you managed to have new subscribers, you can use MailOptin to send out automated emails with your latest blog post or an email digest, for instance. With page-level targeting, built-in analytics, and exit-intent technology, it’s a tool that makes lead generation easier than you think.
Sendx
What if you could deploy pop-ups, landing pages, email campaigns, and push notifications — all using just one tool? Sendx allows you to create pop-ups and landing pages that don’t suck; to create push notifications that “engage” instead of just “push”; launch beautiful and trackable email campaigns, and more.
You can also create pre-setup email marketing workflows and use automation with simple “If this, then that” rules.
If you are technically savvy, you can also use Sendx’s Javascript + Rest API feature to stop or start drip email campaigns based on what your visitors do (or don’t) on your website.
